Potatoes in Rich Tomato Sauce: The Ultimate Comfort Food
If you ask me, potatoes are one of the easiest ingredients to upgrade. They’re great roasted in the oven as a side for chicken or beef, but I especially love making them right on the stovetop, bathing in a rich sauce. And that’s the beauty of the potato: it absorbs the flavor of the great sauce perfectly!
The combination of potatoes and a savory tomato sauce is one of the most delicious, comforting, and cozy recipes out there. The preparation is simple and uses ingredients everyone has at home.
This recipe is a major favorite for lunch and especially for the Friday evening meal. In our house, we usually end up wiping the bottom of the pot clean with a piece of challah. There’s nothing better!
